Power, strength, self-confidence, glossy shiny, black as a black wing, fur, and clever eyes - all this is a Rottweiler. Today, dogs of this breed can be found quite often, they are bred both to protect private territories and as pets. However, in both cases, from the first days you need to think about raising a Rottweiler.
Instructions
Step 1
On a walk, the Rottweiler should be either on a leash or muzzled. Allow strangers or pets to play with the dog, even if you are absolutely sure of the calm disposition of the pet.
Step 2
The main thing in raising a dog is respect and love. Explaining what can and cannot be done should be done in a language understandable to the dog. Drilling alone and empty shouts of commands will not bring her up.
Step 3
When starting a dog, you need to remember that at the age from 7 months to one and a half years, a serious turning point comes: the formation of character and the development of leadership qualities in a pet. At this time, the dog will test your patience, at first simply refusing to follow the commands, and then, if you allow him to be self-willed, he may even try to growl or bite. If this happened, you did not raise the puppy correctly, did not fully explain to him who is the boss in the house. At the first signs of aggression in your direction, or in the direction of your household, you need to contact a professional dog handler, and take the OKD course - a general training course.
Step 4
Bitches are usually less dominant, but this does not mean that they can be given less attention when raising. On the contrary, it is more difficult to train a bitch, it is especially difficult to cope with them during heat - girls refuse to obey commands, may try to escape in search of love or attack another bitch. Be sure to keep your dog on a leash on days like this!
Step 5
Don't let your puppy do what you don't want to see in an adult dog. For example, grabbing the owner's legs, even if in a playful way, over time can lead to a stable habit. True, the methods of education in such a situation must be approached selectively. It will be more effective to shake the puppy slightly, taking it by the withers.
Step 6
Do not try to educate the Rottweiler using beating, pushing, or other methods of violence. Dogs of this breed are peacemakers, and therefore you will quickly find a common language with him if you can persuade him to obey you as a leader.
Step 7
Watch for proper nutrition. The puppy should receive food only at a strictly allotted time, otherwise small pieces of treats are possible in the form of reward for the commands performed.
